Don Coatney Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 links, I just looked, thanks, guess I just never noticed that be fore. ...Right now I need the rubber seals that go around the rear quarter windows, so I can size the opening correctly ( chopped roof ) I removed one of my rear quarter panel windows today while installing a replacement belt line stainless strip above the rear fender. The rubber on my windows needs replacement too. But that is a project for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Take a section of your old rubber and cut a cross section..match that up with Resotration Specialites catalog..they are online so will be easy..buy enough to go around your opening and install..put cut at bottom and seal.

knighthawk Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 restoration speciallties has a rear quarter window seal for a '51 Dodge. Is the 51 the same as a 48 ? the 48 has the window that opens up. Also , one company asked what model I have. What is the model number for my '48 Dodge 4 door ???

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 without a cross section would be hard to tell..to be honest with you it is just a basic rubber seal for 1/4 inch glass fitting onto a pinch weld. Be assured som local glazing shops has this stuff on hand..they did when we did my frinds 50 chebbie p'up..you may wish to check with them.

knighthawk Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 well, in this case the window open, so there is moulded in area for hinge latch.I ordered a new set from Steele Rubber Products........ .................But......... normally for other parts, do you have a favored copmany to deal with ?... Whe I did my ' 59 Apache truck, I used mostly Chevy Duty and LMC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
